    Normally I spend around £100 on each but this year i have saved and saved and manged to scrape together enough to send them both on an all inclusive 5 star holiday to Bulgaria, they have never been abroad before and always always put me first so I wanted to show my appreciation, they don't have a lot of cash so I have got spending money and passport money and all the travel accessories ( suitcases, travel adapter etc) I actually can't wait for Christmas morning as I am itching to tell them!!

    I wouldn't feel bad though if I had spent twenty pound or two hundred as the thought is there especially if it's something that I know they want

    I haven't read the whole thread, but I spend what I can afford (ok and perhaps a bit more than I can afford!).

    I am so skint at the moment it is untrue, so Ma & Pa will only be getting a token gift, as will the rest of the family. Any money I have spare (ha!) I will use to buy gifts for my son - from santa of course ;)
    I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
